The annual meeting of the Fraser Valley Development League will be held in New Westminster on Friday. March 12, when it will be decided as to whether-the League will.be carried oh-for the coming year-or not. During the past year the League has not had the.support of the Municipalities that it should have received, nevertheless it is an organization that should be the means of a lot'of good being done in the way "of bringing to.the attention of-the powers that be' the' requirements of the farmers of the Fraser Valley. It is not definitely known yet as to whether-the. League-will wind up its affairs and call it quits or not, but in reviewing the work taken up during the past year or two of its existence, it must be remembered it was the Fraser Valley Development League that first called to the attention of government the necessity for having, a market commissioner for the Fraser Valley by appointing Mr. R. C. Abbott last summer; it was the League that stirred up the credits to the farmers, and it is believed that what was said and written in this connection had much to do with the bill that comes before the provincial house this week granting the long term credits to the farmers of the province; if the work of the first year is gone overv some reference might be found to the ��������� Pitt River bridge, which is now an almost accomplished fact; it was the Fraser Valley Development League that brought to the attention of the people of Vancouver the important fact of patronizing the Fraser Valley products���������of course with the assistance of the press, and in this paricular the Vancouver Sun deserves credit. Is this not enough Just as we go to. press word reaches this office that- Reeve Munroe of Sumas Municipality has resigned his.office as reeve of the Municipality. He will not sit at the council board this Saturday as reeve. No cause has been assigned to this paper .for the action of the reeve. , It-is to-be'regretted that Reeve Munroe hm seen lit to resign as thereby Sumas Municipality- has lost an able and paiiisaking public official, ���������-- ��������� - ��������� ��������� FIGHTING ABBOTSFORD MEN ���������The Abbotsford men are sure leaving for the war in Europe���������answering the .country's call.

ENTERTAINMENT IN THE POPLAR SCHOOL The Presbytery of ' Westminster metthis week in Vancouver on Tuesday and Wednesday and was address- to guarantee the life of the League ed by the Rev. Dr. Herridge of Ottawa, Moderator of the Grand Assembly. The Presbytery nominated Rev Dr. Neil of Toronto for the office, of moderator for the coming assembly, which is to meet at Kingston, Ont on June.the 2nd in Queen's College there and chose the following ministers of the Presbytery to be commissioners to the Assembly: A. Ross of the Yukon Territory: J. L. Campbell, E. A. Henry, F. W. Kerr, M. G. Melvin, A. L. Burch, J. R. Wright, J A. Logan, J. S Henderson Principal Mackay, R. J. Douglas and E. L. Pidgeon, and also the same number of elders. Mrs. J. A. McGowan and children are visiting are visiting her sister, Mrs. W. F. Knox, of Seattle. for another year? It has been a hard struggle but the fact that some of the things that the League has gone afer have been accomplished, shows that there is a necessity for some such organization, and there being a necessity it should be supported by every municipal council and board of trade in the Valley, but then all of us are not of the same mind or the organization would be a flourishing success. The Fraser Valley Record says long live the Fraser Valley Development League and may 1915 bring the League prosperity of organisation ' A spendid entertainment was provided in the Popular school on ��������� Saturday last by the best of local talent in aid of the Pine Grove church.

BATES, Editor, and.,Proprietor FRIDAY, MARCH 5th, ' When the Russians get access to the sea via Constantinople - then should Russia with its winter port make herself felt in the commerce of the world.

(From Fraser Valley Record) It may be���������although apparently not likely���������that Mission City will be treated to an evening on "Patriotism and Production" by representatives of .the Dominion and Provincial legislatures, or their appointees. It how ever reminds one of the favorite say- ing in the story of Croly, the old Scotch parson, who used to occasionally imbibe rather freely, but who always said "Dinna do as I do, but do as I say". What a government through its peoples' representatives tell the people, it itself should carry, into practice, and in various ways should make it easy for the' people to put into actual ..practice.. Martin Burrell, Minister of -Agriculture for the Dominion House, representing Kootenay,a district where there is probably less agriculture going on-than any other rural district in Canada, conceived an idea that it would be a good idea to have speakers hold meetings throughout the country, to tell the frmers to use the Best Seed; to Clean your Seed, and how to solve the Farm "Labour" Problem, also suggesting the Increasing of your Stock; etc.���������a matter or matters that the provincial government has been spending much time and labor on, and with success. From the time of the cultivation of the first acre of land.in Canada���������several hundred years ago���������the farmer ha_ endeavored to carry this out- to the best of his ability and without much assistance from the government at Ottawa. Of course proclaiming these homely truths to the few farmers who attend these meetings will do no real harm, but there is something more than mere platform oratory wanted. He wants the assistance of the government���������thedo- minion' government in protecting the Canadian markets against foreign products brought into the country to the detriment of the Canadian farmer. ��������� In this matter the provincial government is helpless, but it must be admitted they are telling the fruitgrowers and farmers of this province a lot of useful things about the best way to grow fruit, etc., even passing a resolution asking the Dominion government to put a duty on foreign fruit in order to conserve the markets of the province for the.men who till the soil in the province. The Mc- Bride government are to bo commended for the course of instruction they are carying out during the past few years. , ' The Canadian farmer is alive to the many opportunities that are before him these days, but instead of holding meetings throughout the provinces, the Dominion government had better pass legislation, to assist the people in having the full benefit of the home market. One of the reasons that these touring encyclopaedias of useful information to farmers did not come to this district north of the\.Fraser is that they probably were ashamed to face the fruitgrower with their ideas for fear of being iip against it with awkward- questions which the frui- grower might ask him about the protecting the prairie markets and the provincial markets for the-fruitgrowers of this province. The fruitgrowers can ask these questions all right. The Dominion government under Mr. Martin Burrell is taking the impractical course, although some of the oratory is no, doubt good. What does Mr., Blakemore know about the-farming and frulgrowing of this province or any other. He is merely an engineer; or a handy man to pick up a few dollars from the Doukhobor commission or a hot-air speil to a small audience of farmers many of whom know a lot more than he does about the subjects he talks about. When such an important work is being carried on, why not get all experts in the particular line taken up-?- ' BRITISH COLUMBIA'S MORATORIUM ��������� The following is the full* text of, the moratorium measure introduced in the British Columbia.legislature: ���������1.

Little Hear The Circus Man ,One morning Father. Bear and Mo- thre Bear went-away to pick blackberries. Mother Bear told Little Bear to stay in'his own yard. After his father and mother went away, Little Bear .was dancing a bear dance beside the lilac-.bush when a stranger looked thro' the railway and said "Are you one 'of tlie Three Bears? Is your father called the Big Bear and your mother the Middle sized Bear?" ��������� "Yes, we are the Three Bears family", said the, Little Bear. "Then open the gate, and come with me," said the stranger, 1 am Mr. Circus Man." Now the circus man went into the forest on purpose to catch Little Bear In his hand he carried a chain and collar. He wished to put the collar round Little Bear's neck and drag him by the chain away from the Bear in*a-tent/with this sign: Side Show; Bring the-children to see1 the Little Bear, whose home was visited -by , ��������� ,- - " Goldenlocks!-- "Only'ten.-cents admission!' "You'should go'to the circus and hear tlie band' play," Little Bear," said the man. "And you should see the circus tents! You should see the clowns do tricks inside the biggest circus tent!- You should see the big animals that belong to the circus! You should see the elephants from- India! They are bigger than your house, Little Bear' You should see the great hijioopotaains and Ui<*j hi.ge rhinoceros wirh the horn on top of his nose!'You should listen to che lion's roar and hear , the tiger's growl! Will, you come with me to the circus, Little Bear?" "I should like to see the circus," spoke the Little Bear, "but I can't go until'my father and mother come back from the black berry patch. Mr. Circus Man." I should think* you would be afraid of the big elephants bigger than our house?" "Oh"-answered Mr. Circus Man," "I am so brave I am not afraid of the elephants." "I should think," went en the little Bear "that you would be afraid of the great hippopotamus? "Oh, -no, Littl- Bear,"-the circus man said "I am so brave I am not afraid of anything: You come with me. You see I am not afraid of Mr. Circus Man never finished that speech, because at that moment the Father and Mother Bear returned, and Mr. Circus Man suddenly looked terribly frightened. For half a second he stared at the Middle-sized Bear and the Big Bear and then he turned and ran so fast that his coat tails stood out behind! Little Bear laughed until he hiccoughs. What is the matter with M Circus Man? asked Little Bear at last. "He was afraid of us", answered Mother Bear. "Afraid of you!" exclaimed Little Bear; and then he laughed harder than ever, because he thought it so funny that any one could be so a- fraid of his good father and mother And that night when Little Bear laughed in his sleep, Mother Bear smiled and said, "Maybe he is dreaming of Mr. Circus* Man running a- way from us.

The total investment made is, close to three-quarter million dollars. Varied Exhibit The Honorable Martin Burrell. Canadian minister of Agriculture, represented the government at the dedication of the ceremonies, together with W. Hutchison, chief of the Canadian Commission. Short addresses by these' men, speeches by Governor Hiram W. Johnson, President Charles C.
